Sidewalk repair on the Lower East Side

The Lower East Side is dense tenement blocks with shops and restaurants on the ground floor. Its sidewalks take constant foot traffic, deliveries and trash collection, and much of the concrete is well past its best.

Sidewalks on the Lower East Side

A lot of the frontage has been patched over and over, and old patches break away at the edges and leave raised lips between flags. Past a certain point, replacing the run is better value than paying for another patch. Honest advice on that point is part of the sidewalk repair Manhattan owners get from us.

Cellar doors and sidewalk hatches for ground-floor businesses are everywhere, and the concrete around their frames is where cracks usually start. We rebuild the surrounding flags so the door sits flush with the sidewalk.

Questions from Lower East Side property owners

Should I patch my sidewalk again or replace it?

If most of the flags across your frontage are cracked or already patched, replacement usually costs less over a few years. If the damage is limited to a few flags, a repair is enough. We tell you which once we have looked.

Can you fix the concrete around a cellar door?

Yes. We replace the flags around the frame so the door sits flush with the sidewalk and there is no edge to trip on.
